TV actor's revenge plot backfires
TNN, Jun 14, 2010, 04.14am IST


HYDERABAD: Police on Sunday arrested TV artiste Dimple Kontam and two of her associates for attacking her boyfriend Sridhar Verma, also a TV artiste, with acid last week. Dimple Kontam, 24, of Alwal has acted in several TV serials in Telugu.
On Wednesday last, Dimple had lodged a complaint with the Raidurgam police alleging that an unidentified woman had attacked her with chilli powder and an iron rod while she was on her way for a TV serial shoot with her assistant Mani. 

A day before that, her friend Sridhar Verma was attacked with acid by an assistant provided by a production house at Malaysian Township. However, as the chemical was highly diluted, Sridhar escaped without any injuries. The next day, Sridhar lodged a complaint with the KPHB police alleging that one Nagaraju, an assistant provided by the production house, had attacked him. 

However, the love-revenge plot unravelled when police nabbed Nagaraju from Yousufguda on Saturday and interrogated him. 

Nagaraju told police that Dimple and Mani had asked him to throw acid on Sridhar. Nagaraju was paid Rs 2,500 and the duo also assured him that they would help him in his career, KPHB inspector N Narasimha Reddy said. 

Nagaraju, along with Uday, another production house employee, went on a bike to Malaysian Township on June 8 and called Sridhar Verma. He told Sridhar that he was waiting at Malaysian Township and requested him to pick him up. Sridhar went there in a car and when he rolled down the window glass, Nagaraju threw the chemical on his face and fled. 

By Tuesday night, Dimple and Mani realised that Sridhar was not injured and he had identified Nagaraju. 

In order to escape from the law, they decided to stage an attack on themselves, the inspector added. 

As per their plan, Mani made some scratches on the face of Dimple with a knife and threw some chilli powder and then approached the Raidurgam police alleging that they were attacked by an unidentified woman when they were proceeding in a car to Manikonda for a TV serial shoot on June 9. 

They even tried to put the blame on another artiste, Selvaraj. However, police nabbed Nagaraju and the truth came out. 

When quizzed by police, Dimple claimed Sridhar had promised to marry her, but was deferring it. Upset, she along with Mani decided to end his career by throwing acid on him. They roped in Uday and Nagaraju to execute it by promising to get them decent employment, the inspector said. 

Police nabbed Dimple, Mani and Nagaraju and registered cases against them under section 307 (Attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). They were produced before a magistrate, who remanded them in judicial custody.
